PITTsBUBo, April 1.-The war between
the stove morders and the manufacturers has
reached this city. The indications are that
within few days every foundry in this
vicinity will be closed. The members of the
Manufacturers Defense association received
a confidential circular to-day from d. M
Thomas secretary of the association, giving
a review of the situation. A st. Louis firm,
Bridge, Beach s. Co, had been especially
boycotted by the workmen. The patterns Of
this firm are en- route to all manufacturers in
the country. The circular states that on a
certain day the firms will be notified to have
castings made from the same. The molders
in this city say they viii strike rather than
do such work.

A Birthday Surprise.

On Thursday evening Of this week one
of the most pleasant and entertaining
surprise party took place at Barksdale.
It was to celebrate the Sc anniversary of
Mr.. Thomas ii. Morrison's birth. Thirty
couples assembled at 1880 o'clock, and
Mr.. Morrison who had been taken away
for sleigh-ride, was never so much sur
prised us on returning home to find the
above named party in full possession of
his house. Mr. Robert G. McKane intro
duced the company to Mr.. NJ, in a neat
and amusing speech. After congratula-
tons the house was soon resounding
with merry laughter and pleasant voices
of young folks, all evidently enjoying
themselves. Music, consisting of quartets,
duets and organ recitals, and dancing
comprised the evenings program. At
1890 the company assembled in the par
Tor and sitting-room and Mr.. w. G. Haw-
thorne in few very appropriate remarks
which caused considerable applause, pre-
sented the following presents Gold
headed cane with the inscription on the
head, Presented to Thomas II. Morrison
by Mark II. DeCray y A very fine wolf
robe, which Mr.. Morrison picked out
himself under the impression it was for
his neighbor, John McKane, this was
the compliment of his many friends a
shaving set, in handsome plush case,
from Mr.. Thomas DeCray razor and
strop, by Mr.. Frank Carson pair fancy
slippers, Miss Sallie Carson pair slippers
by John DeCray, and overshoes, hand
kerchiefs, suspenders, pound of fine
smoking tobacco and numerous other ar
ticles. Mr.. Morrison was much affected
but returned thanks in few remarks
that Just suited the occasion. A pleasant
feature of the evening was the arrival Of
three couples from Wilmington, Mr.. NJ
II. DeCray and Miss Clara Walker, Mr.
John Huey and Miss LETTERS, Thos. De
Cray and Miss Anderson. At ~ O'Clock
all were invited to the dining-room wher,
Il table was spread with choice delicacies
cakes, confectionery, apples, oranges

of the table was large pound cake, will
, the following words very tastefully
} arranged "Thomas ii. Morrison, 56tl
Birthday, 1884," and was presented t.
to him by his sister, Mrs. Frank Carson
After all had partaken of the delicious
repast, the musicians were again called on
, and lovers of the terpsichorean art en-,
joyed social hop. Another amusing
feature was Mr.. Morrison shook the "fan
! tastic toe" for the first time in the 8
years of his life. As the strikes of tn
clock began to increase at each hour tn

The proprietor of the Deer Park,
Mr. John E. Lewis, has added great inn
provements to portion of his hotel by

improvements in contemplation, and

The young friends of Miss Annie
Lewis, eldest daughter of Evan W. Lewis
at the Delaware House, called on her ON
Monday night in masque. 1t was an
amusing sight to see the many strange
and odd looking figures. The evening
was pleasantly spent. There was plenty
of refreshments and those present did
justice to them. The little people were
much delighted with their masquerade
party.
No doubt the rapid disappearance
of the snow this week will cause general
regret among our people who were en-
thusiastic on the subject of sleighing.
On Monday and Tuesday the sleighing
was particularly fine and the streets were
lined with interested spectators of an
exciting race between Bob Morrison's
favorite sorrelI mare MAY" and Joseph
Lutton's "Gypsy Girl" MAY" not in
good condition at all yet Gypsy Grip
was the winner. Newarkers applauded
this performers Justify for MAY" is CON
sidered the fastest horse in the state
with a record of 2.27.
We have noticed for some time the
bad condition of the sidewalk and Oper
space at the southwest corner of the
Deer Park hotel. During wet weather
this place is flooded with water, which
makes it very unpleasant for those who
are compelled to pass the place daily
This trouble dates from the time the
Commissioners removed the drain pipe
that conveyed the water from the hote
and low spots to the large gutter on thu
south side. 1t is to be hoped the Com
missioners will remedy the evil soon as
possible, and by so doing receive thu
generous thanks of the citizens of the
West End.

Lofty Tumble-Attended With Serious
Results.

What came near proving a fatal acct
dent occurred at Coochs Bridge, on the
Newark and Delaware City Railroad,
about miles from this town, on Tues
day. A gang of bridge builders were en-
gagged in making some repairs, ON the
bridge at that place, when, in some UNI
accountable way, Jas Tyner lost his foot
ing and tumbled from the tresile. In
falling he came in contact with another
workman named John Mulqueen. Both
men fell distance of % feet. Fellow
workmen carried the men into Cooch's
-four mill in an unconscious condition.
Drs Kollock and Clark of this town and
Skinner of Glasgow were summoned and
rendered medical aid to the two sufferers.
1t was found that Mulqueen was suffer-
ing from internal injuries, while Tyne
sustained a compound fracture of his
wrist. Both were taken to their homes
in Wilmington on the same day by spe-
cial train.

Winter Tours over the Pennsylvania
Railroad

Pursuant to the annual custom the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company placed
on sale at its offices, November LIST, 4

nent points in the Southern States and
to Havana. These tickets are sold at re-

they are required to be used ON the south
bound trip within fifteen days from the

Stockholders Meeting,

On the 10Th, Wednesday, the stock
holders of the Dean Wooden company
held a meeting at the office. They were
in session about three hours but nothing
definite was reached. The fire insurance
men were here also looking at the ruins
and there appears to be little difficulty
about something which we hope will be
all conceit. The sentiment of the meet
ing was that the mills would be rebuilt.

Free Trade.

The reduction of internal revenue and
the taking off of revenue stamps from
Proprietary Medicines, no doubt has
largely benefited the consumers, as well
as relieving the burden of home manu-
features. Especially is this the case with
GREEN'S august EiOtcer and BOschee's Ger
man Syrup, as the reduction of thirty
six cents per dozen, has been added to
increase the size of the bottles contain
ing these remedies, thereby giving one
fifth more medicine in the rs cent size.
The august Fiower for Dyspepsia and
Liver Complaint, and the German Syrup
for Cough and Lung troubles, have per-
haps the largest sale of any medicines
in the world. The advantage of increas-
ed size of the bottles will be greatly APP
preciated by the sick and afflicted, in
every town and village in civilized coun-
tries. Sample bottles for 10 cents re-
main the same size.
